In season 6 episode 1 of Wheeler Dealers, the team takes on the challenge of restoring a 1979 Triumph Spitfire 1500. The Spitfire was a small, two-seater convertible sports car that was first introduced in 1962. It quickly became popular and was known for its sleek design and impressive performance.

When the car arrives at the workshop, it's clear that it's going to need a lot of work. The body is in rough shape, with rust and dents throughout. The engine is also in need of some serious attention.

Mike begins by assessing the damage and figuring out what needs to be done. He determines that they'll need to replace the front fenders and the rocker panels, as well as fix a number of smaller issues. Edd, meanwhile, takes on the engine, rebuilding it from scratch and making various upgrades to improve performance.

As they work on the car, Mike and Edd discuss the history of the Spitfire and what makes it such a great car. They also talk about the challenges of working on a car that's over 40 years old, and how they're able to find the parts they need to complete the restoration.

Once the bodywork and engine work is completed, Mike takes the car out for a test drive to see how it handles. He's impressed with how well the car drives, and is especially pleased with the improvements they've made to the engine.

The final step is to give the car a fresh coat of paint, and Mike and Edd choose a classic British Racing Green. Once the paint is dry, the car is ready to be sold.

At the end of the episode, Mike and Edd take the Triumph to a car show to see if they can find a buyer. They're thrilled when they meet a potential buyer who loves the car and is willing to pay top dollar for it.

Overall, this episode of Wheeler Dealers is a classic example of the show's format. The team takes on a challenging restoration project, overcomes various obstacles, and ultimately finds a buyer for the finished product. Along the way, viewers get a glimpse into the history and culture of classic cars, as well as the skills and techniques that go into restoring them.
